Killer Smile :)
Haven't spoken to Mr Z for a long time now. Think the last talk was at the company Christmas party in December but that was too noisy to be a proper talk. Anyway, he told me today that I have been looking very happy these days and that the smile on my face can't seem to be wiped off. :) and he said it was a killer smile. Lol!!
So what's there to smile about? Hmmm I guess it's coz the old Maggie is coming back to the body and soul. The one where nothing brings her down, where she takes things on a positive note. It's the one who thinks that it's jus great to still be alive and enjoying every moment.
I need not be rich or beautiful to be happy. My pay is unchanged. My skin is still as bad. But what does it matter? The heart is feeling gorgeous and upbeat. It's all a matter of mindset. I'm hoping that this positive mentality can stay longer and stop disappearing as and when it feels like it!
Life is beautiful so cherish and treasure every moment!! Live life to the fullest and smile, for u never know who might fall in love with that smile of urs (not a psychopath I hope!)! Smiling is contagious so spread the love!! :))))

Misuse of my HP number!
I'm pissed! My idiotic ex bf gave his current gf my hp number without my permission - all coz she's going for an interview in the company I work for!! And guess what.. She managed to get an interview coz she spoke with the biggest shot in my company on the plane coz she is an air stewardess!! Seriously, wtf???
Why am I obliged to help her?? I don't even know who she is and I hate the fact that my number was given to someone I don't even know without my permission! I think it's damn rude when I dunno the person at all!! Soooo annoying!!!
ARGHHHHH!!!!

Harsh Reality
Today is the 2nd time I've encountered the harsh realities of life and work.
1st time was on 14 July 2011 Charles's contract was not renewed and he was asked to go. Yes, many people might think that this could be better for him coz he's at least got a package to leave. But did anyone think of the bigger picture? Guess not.
It's not that we weren't expecting Charles's contract to not be renewed. We were. So why were we surprised and unhappy? A few reasons.
1) Why didn't anyone talk to him about his contract? Why didn't they think of offering him a local package if they think his expat package is too expensive? He's been with us for 4 years. No major losses incurred and yet even turned the books around from a loss to a profit within his 1st 8 months of joining us. Shouldn't that have been taken into account?
2) The new guy they hired to replace Charles went around telling people in the industry that he is leaving his old company to join us. And I found that out a few weeks ago - which means they hired the guy some time back and they never intended to retain or renew Charles's contract. I don't think it's ethical to go around telling others that you've been hired at the benefit of someone else's retrenchment. Our company wasn't ethical in hiring him 1st before saying anything.
3) Our own London and New York teams didn't wanna take Charles in, as in a transfer. All coz Charles is quite a quiet person and doesn't really socialize much with the rest. But come on, you can't fault a person for that right? And apparently 1 of our sales teams doesn't like him coz of that too so no teams wanna take him in. Like seriously?? His counterpart in London has been making huge losses and he doesn't get "cut" but Charles gets asked to go jus coz he doesn't communicate much? Lame ain't it??
Overall, we're jus not happy about it. I cried a little. Charles is the guy who makes me laugh at work daily with his funny antics of changing my dealing nick into funny names and the guy who chats with me from time to time. And of coz he's also taught me quite a lot of stuff. :( Yet another good person gets retrenched. Sigh.. :( Life is unfair and sucks! He's definitely going back to USA and I wonder.. If we will ever get to meet again or talk to each other again. I can only.. Wish him all the best..
